Title: Systems and methods for modifying power usage
Inventor: WANG JACKSON KIT
IPC: G01R22/06
Filed: 2006-03-08
Abstract: Systems and methods for providing energy management utilize wireless wide- area network broadcast signals and a decentralized receiver architecture to allow customers to make informed choices with regard to energy consumption and load shedding for particular appliances. A receiver assembly embedded within an appliance receives a broadcast signal, e.g., an FM subcarrier signal, including tariff data and other electrical grid data. A processor coupled with the receiver controls the appliance in accordance with the received data and in accordance with user-defined preferences. In some embodiments, a transceiver assembly is embedded in one or more appliances in a household. Each transceiver is configured to receive broadcast signals regarding grid data, and to communicate with other appliances and/or a usage meter over a wireless personal area network. Meter data from one or more households may be aggregated and uplinked back to the energy provider or other entities.

Title: Domestic appliance
Inventor: GAMMACK PETER DAVID
IPC: H01R13/72
Filed: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A domestic electrical appliance, for example, a toaster, a kettle, a beverage maker, television, DVD or CD player, comprises a base 50 having a lower surface 52 shaped to define a channel 70 for receiving and storing a mains cable of the appliance. The channel 70 comprises a plurality of openings 74, 76, 78 located about the peripheral surface of the base 50 and from a selected one of which the cable may extend from the base, a first portion 80 for retaining a length of the cable, and a second portion 82 for guiding the cable from the first portion 80 to a selected one of the openings 74, 76, 78. The openings 74, 76, 78 and the second portion 82 of the channel 70 are shaped to enable part of a mains cable of another appliance to be located within the channel 70 to reduce the amount of that cable which is exposed, for example, on a work counter. The present invention also provides domestic equipment comprising a fist and second domestic appliance, each having a different function. The openings located about the bases of one of the appliances may be aligned with an opening on the base of one of the other appliances. This allows the mains cables of appliances arranged back-to-back or side-to-side to be located wholly beneath the appliances before extending form a single opening in the base of one of the appliances towards a bank of sockets.

Title: A method and composition to improve mushroom cultivation
Inventor: PARKER FRANK HENRY
IPC: A01G1/04
Filed: 2008-05-07
Abstract: A method to improve the function and performance of a mushroom bed comprises nutritionally supplementing the mushroom bed by mixing very small amounts of carboxylic acid salts into the casing layer or on the surface of the compost at the interface with the casing layer. The salt is derived from an aliphatic, alicyclic, heterocyclic or aromatic carboxylic acid and mixtures thereof; the cations being of sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium or mixtures thereof. For compost surface additions only, ammonia and organic amines may also be used as cations. The carboxylic salts may be mixed with other nutrient substances such as sugars, dextrins, lignosulphonates, oils and long chain fatty acids to further improve performance. Conventionally nutrients have been added to the lower compost layer, leaving the casing layer nutritionally sterile. When the carboxylate was made available in the casing layer, rather than in the compost layer, it was found that a dose of one tenth of the normal supplement rate was required.

Title: Multi-State object activated valve with additional isolating member
Inventor: RYTLEWSKI GARY
IPC: E21B34/14
Filed: 2008-07-17
Abstract: A multi-state valve 106 has a dropped object pass-through state (Fig. 2A) and a dropped object-catching state (Fig. 2B). The actuating object 300 is caught by the actuation of a compressed C-ring 218 (figure 3b) or compressible collet in the activated state. When the sleeve 206 moves in a downward direction to open the valve 106 (Fig. 2B), radial openings in the upper housing section 200 are exposed to place the valve 106 in an open state, a state in which fluid communication occurs between the central bore 208 of the valve 106 and the region that surrounds the valve 106. The valve sleeve 206 is connected to an additional isolating flapper valve 212. After the valve has been actuated to the open state, further downward pressure shears the connection between the mandrel 210 and valve sleeve 206 allowing the flapper 214 to pivot to its closed position.

Abstract: 1,149,108. Temperature responsive actuating elements. BENDIX CORP. March 1, 1968 [March 10, 1967], No.10118/68. Heading G1D. A temperature responsive actuator for positioning an output member 106 as a function of a temperature sensed by a probe 46 comprises a casing 20 filled with a fluid at an environmental temperature, a movable control lever in the form of a square flat plate 84 within the casing 20, a first extensible bellows 22 disposed at one corner of the plate 84, the bellows being connected to the probe 46 so that the bellows 22 extends in response to the temperature to be sensed and to the environmental temperature, and a second extensible bellows 52 disposed at an adjacent corner of the plate, this bellows extending only in response to the environmental temperature and compensating the actuator for the effects of the environmental temperature on the bellows 22, the output member 106 being disposed at the corner of the plate 84 shown as being behind the position of the bellows 22 in the drawing, and the other remaining corner of the plate 84 being supported by a fixed but adjustable stop (not shown), the plate 84 having a curved surface 92 which abuts the movable end of the bellows 52 so that the fulcrum of movement of the plate varies with the extension of the bellows 22 to compensate for the fact that the environmental temperature will affect the two bellows 22, 52 differently depending on the extension of the bellows 22. A spring 96 is used to retain the surface 92 in contact with the movable end of the bellows 52. In use, on movement of the bellows 22 due to changes in the temperature being sensed the plate pivots about the axis defined by the fulcrum of the curved surface 92 and the fixed stop and the output member 106 is moved accordingly. Changes in environmental temperature affect both bellows 22 and 52 so that no movement is communicated to the member 106. In each bellows unit the bellows, as 22, is secured between an anchor member 24 and a movable cap 38. The member 24 has a central guide member 32 with ribs 34, 36 which serve to guide the movement of the cap 38 by sliding engagement with a cylinder portion 42 thereon.
